ASUS exclusive GX2.5 gaming audio engine for realistic 3D audio effects. Dolby Headphone technology for an immersive 5.1 surround experience. 3 headphone AMP gain modes for different usage scenarios - VOIP, pro-gaming, exciter. Built-in Headphone AMP to power up every sound detail in gaming. Restart PulseAudio to apply the changes: pulseaudio -k PCI Express 5.1-channel gaming audio card. I just built a new machine on Ubuntu 18.04, and want to add a sound card to run Jack. etc/pulse/system.pa:load-module module-suspend-on-idle Does anyone have any experience with an ASUS Xonar SE card. etc/pulse/default.pa:load-module module-suspend-on-idle If neither of these work, then I'm out of ideas :-).įind PulseAudio config files which contains load-module module-suspend-on-idle lines: :~$ grep module-suspend-on-idle /etc/pulse/* If the fix worked then audio should play normally, if not then remove the file again: sudo rm /etc/pm/power.d/intel-audio-powersave If there is a pop-up message showing 'Cant find any device.', please restart the computer. Please make sure the device has plug-in and properly. Run sudo touch /etc/pm/power.d/intel-audio-powersave and reboot Xonar Audio Center is an Audio application tool and provided by ASUS for volume control and Xear effect switching. If audio is fine, then you need to make it permanent by adding a new file in /etc/modprobe.d/ with the following content: options snd_hda_intel power-saving=N In the terminal, run the following and try playing audio again: echo N | sudo tee /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save_controller The script: root # touch /etc/pm/power.d/intel-audio-powersaveįrom the above text, the things to try are: If you use pm-utils, but don't want this kind of regulation, disable Pm-utils contains a script to enable the power-saving mode when onīattery and disable when on AC. The power_save knob sets the time-out in seconds. The power_save_controller knob controls, if power-saving mode isĮnabled.
You can tune the driver in the sysfs filesystem under From, the important bits are as follows: It sounds like power management is preventing the soundcard from outputting the first snippet of audio. To disable loading of the module-suspend-on-idle module, comment out the following line in the configuration file in use (~/.config/pulse/default.pa or /etc/pulse/default.pa): # Automatically suspend sinks/sources that become idle for too longįinally restart PulseAudio to apply the changes. It uses service client model.I know I'm about to revive an old thread, but I have found a easy working solution that fixes the problem. new version of GX from Phoebus drivers looks better. C-Media/ASUS programmers used simple solutions, with almost any error detection and possible recovery.
Also, I are using hook/detour library in my own program but is much better, with disassembler and code relocation (. The only application for better audio for me is my home theatre PC which runs Linux and outputs via HDMI. Code in Hooks NOT emulate EAX at all, it only FORCES compatibility flags, and fix some functions to not crash because of that.

The problem arise because of dumb programmers, hooking code is baaaaad ! Also when app crashes it not unhook it so "loop" occur because of scrambled functions.

Hooks is a wrapper over original function, to execute you own code before/after that fuction. HsSvr.dll - Hooks Server, after attaching to process installs hooks for WndProc and DirectSoundCreate. ) with all features.Īlso I maybe explain why (current) GX is so bad: it work in this way: HsMgr.exe - Hooks Manager is injecting HsSvr.dll to all process in system. ALC892 is not a bad integrated codec too, you can run even Creative X-Fi MB II (with little fix.
If you want nice Windows drivers look for a HDA class card (Creative Titanium HD or newer Crative cards or ASUS Xonar Phoebus).
Creative rewritten drivers on Titanium HD premiere (first PCI-E HDA card). I agree that gain modes may be a bit silly and unproffessional, altough for me. Well I think that adding them to the driver would be good as it would make the Linux driver having the same features as Windows one.
I will not recommend any card not compatible with Intel HDA Interface, because PCI drivers are all crap. Subject: Re: Amplifier modes on Asus Xonar DGX From: Janusz Slowinski
